Lab Services
At OSF HealthCare Saint James – John A. Albrecht Medical Center, our state-of-the-art laboratory is equipped with advanced technology and staffed by skilled professionals dedicated to delivering reliable results and exceptional care.
How to Prepare for Your Lab Test
- Please notify a staff member if you have a latex allergy or feel faint.
- Because testing differs for each patient, ask your physician for instructions on how to prepare for your lab work.
- Fasting is frequently necessary before having blood drawn. Commonly ordered fasting tests include fasting blood glucose; lipids, including cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL; and gastrin or folate. Talk to your primary care provider about the fasting guidelines for your specific test(s).
Getting Your Results
In most cases, your laboratory test is available to your physician within two days. Please keep in mind that your primary care provider may need additional time to add to your OSF MyChart or personal medical record.
